However, despite a successful single that featured a Thomas Dolby sample. Mobb Deep then signed with Jive, under a unique deal that gave the duo its own imprint, Infamous Records, and released 'Amerika'z Nightmare', a very uneven effort, which featured production by The Alchemist and Lil' Jon.
Loud was absorbed by its new distributor shortly afterwards. Their follow-up, 'Infamy', was the duo's last album for Loud, distributed by Columbia Records and was, for some, a disappointment lyrically and musically, while others praised it as amongst the best rap albums of the year. In late 2000, Prodigy finally released his long-rumoured solo album, 'H.N.I.C.', which saw the more lyrically gifted member of the group collaborating with outside producers such as The Alchemist and Rockwilder on tracks that didn't depart far from the trademark sullen Mobb Deep style. The album was welcomed by critics, who again lauded the group's lucid cinematics, driven primarily by Havoc's production. Months after the bootlegs leaked and after several pushed-back street dates, 'Murda Muzik' was formally released, debuting at number three on the Billboard charts and quickly going platinum on the strength of 'Quiet Storm,' a song that epitomized the Mobb Deep style. Their next release, 'Murda Muzik', was heavily bootlegged while still in its demo stage, leaking rough versions of the nearly 30 songs the duo had recorded onto the streets and over the internet. Thanks to a grim video for 'Hell on Earth (Front Lines)' and theatrical Scarface-like photos inside the CD booklet picturing the duo with guns and a mound of cocaine, Mobb Deep had created an elaborate image for themselves that took hardcore gangsta rap to a new level for east coast hip hop. A year later, in 1996, Prodigy and Havoc released 'Hell on Earth' debuting at number six on SoundScan, the album found them fully realizing their approach, dropping both evocative beats and cinematic rhymes that communicated the dark side of New York's urban landscape.

Hegelian Dialectic received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the new politically driven and socially conscious tone, a notable change from Prodigy's previous work. This idea is the logical foundation stone for Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels' theory of history as the history of class struggle where the conditions of societal production develop until the oppressed classes necessarily overthrow the oppressor class. It is an argument process explaining the progress of history as being the conflict of ideas, where the interactions between thesis and anti-thesis create synthesis. The album is named after the philosophical concept Hegelian dialectic.
